Bible Pages of the Stone and West Families (Tolland CT, Lee, MA, Brighton, NY, Calhoun Co. MI--and beyond) --Anonymous Source

Return to menu

The following records are transcribed from a photocopy of Bible pages sent to the author by the Landmark Society of Western New York. In an attempt to track the source of these records, the author has sent dozens of letters to various historical and genealogical organizations and individuals in the Rochester, New York area. So far no one can identify the source. From the handwriting in the records it appears that most of the entries were written in one hand all at once. Therefore most of them have come from some other unknown source. However several of the last death entries are in another hand, making it seem as if the Bible was originally maintained by one of those individuals--probably Olive Stone West, Orson West or Caroline West Knickerbocker. View a sample page.
Use your browser's 'back' button to return.

The photocopies have been severely marked up, presumably by staff at the Landmark Society. Those annotations have been omitted from this transcription except for certain marks that may have been inserted on original pages. These I have put in [brackets].

1879 "{El Paso, Ill; 1887 Wellington Kan}" Dear Ella: When sorrow was yet unknown to us in childhoods tender years, we played together, filling the air with our merry laughter and learning the same lessions; We, for a time were separated; shen we again met what various changes time had wrought in our lives? "The crown of care we both may wear." And should we separate never to meet again, I wish you well; and whereever the tide of life drifts your bark may fortune favor you, and strew your pathway with the rosebuds of life and happiness, is the wish of a classmate of 1871. May Burgess Wellington Kan
